FriendFeed quietly rolled out a pretty cool new feature tonight. Now, when you update a service that has location information included in it, such as Brightkite, a Google Map image of your location will be placed below the update.

When I inquired about this new feature, FriendFeed co-found Bret Taylor wrote back in a thread:

“We just pushed that change out. Should show up for all entries that have geo information, including RSS feeds that use GeoRSS.”

Clicking on these map images takes you to an actual Google Map with the location marked down. A subtle, yet nice addition to the service and one that should help move the adoption of location-based services forward a little bit more.
